To be. Very Gold,
The wsaiuerwiso prophets deolaro
that tho winter now bagua will bc tho
coldest ever know? by the preseut gen
eration. Possibly these predictions
?ra inspired by the omi a? art CH of tho
osal trust. At ?ll ovonts the predic
tions ?re very similar to what was
hoard Inst year Just ?bout this (?casca.
Last yeer the prophet? said that thc
fer beating Animals had oo?ts much
thicker thats ?ansi And that therefore
the winter would be muck colder then
the average. As a matter of record
last winter WAS rather mild end open.
Perhaps tko prophets have redeemed
their failure of last year by a success

keep on waking these predictions long
